One day at a time We can learn to leave the past behind. One day at a time We can look the future in the eye. One day at a time We can learn to live. Gates of the guardian are abound, Wide and the trusting (?) Seventy thousand will enter Of them without reckoning. One day at a time We can learn to leave our fears behind. One day at a time We can stare our hopes in the eye. One day at a time We can learn to live. And if you meet the evening Go wait for the sun to rise. One day at a time We can leave our treasures behind. One day at a time We can watch the clocks unwind. One day at a time A child is born into this world, eyes blind. One day he will find his sight And glimpse another kind of light To live by one day. One day at a time We can learn to leave machines behind. One day at a time We can learn how birds survive. One day at a time We can learn to fly
